(1) The term victim may refer to a person, business, institution, or
society as a whole.
(2) The term known offender does not imply that the identity of the
suspect is known, but only that an attribute of the suspect is
identified, which distinguishes him/her from an unknown offender.
(3) A multiple-bias incident occurs only when two or more offense types
are committed in a single incident. In a situation where there is more
than one offense type, the agency can indicate a different bias for
each offense. In the case of a single offense type, only one bias can
be indicated.

(1) The actual number of incidents is 7,462. However, the column
figures will not add to the total because incidents may include more
than one offense type, and these are counted in each appropriate
offense type category.
(2) The term victim may refer to a person, business, institution, or
society as a whole.
(3) The term known offender does not imply that the identity of the
suspect is known, but only that an attribute of the suspect is
identified, which distinguishes him/her from an unknown offender. The
actual number of known offenders is 7,314. However, the column figures
will not add to the total because some offenders are responsible for
more than one offense type, and they are, therefore, counted more than
once in this table.
(4) Includes additional offenses collected in NIBRS.
